本文介绍了基于IEEE 802.11兼容标准和设备、分布式数据库系统和模块化软件组件的移动环境感知地理信息系统（G.I.S.）的开发。该系统通过高带宽无线内部网交付，并从标准的“现成”产品开发而来，呈现出对现有技术的独特集成，当应用时，可能对依赖远程访问分布式地理空间数据的许多行业有益。然后介绍了该系统在曼彻斯特（英国）进行的广泛现场试验的结果，该系统对公用事业行业现场工程师的合作和孤立工作实践的潜在影响。
This paper presents the development of a mobile context aware geographic information system (G.I.S.) based upon IEEE 802.11 compliant standards and equipment, distributed database systems, and modular software components. Delivered across a high bandwidth wireless intranet, and developed from standard “off the shelf” products, the system presents a unique integration of existing technologies that when applied, could be beneficial to a number of industries that rely on remote access to distributed geo-spatial data. Results from extensive field trials of the system in Manchester (UK) are then presented, in terms of the potential impact of the system on both the co-operative and the isolated working practices of field engineers in the Utility Industry.
